Slicer Prepare Time, Custom Time

Hi McNeill,

Welcome.

You can edit the printer start g-code, i.e., change the printer’s actions during the startup.
I cannot provide you with a solution, but a list of many from which you can find the one that fits your needs. There are some risks, which I believe to be minimal, but in all cases, the responsibility is on your side. Some advice:

  • do not blind trust in a solution; if it works or not is up to you;
  • As they are unofficial, it is normal for old ones not to work or have limitations. This can also happen to you with time, as newer versions of firmware are released, but usually, you can easily overcome with simple changes;
  • at the time of the first test, whether experienced or not, stay near the printer and look at every detail during the startup, as you can interrupt in case of any problem and understand where and why it failed.
    Some threads where you can find custom start g-codes and users’ experiences (randomly ordered):

In case of doubts, feel free to ask.
